I cant wait this day because of today is where I will be in the most beautiful place in Singapore, Central City, and The Icon Merlion. First we arrived at Marina Barrage, the Marina Barrage is one of the reservoirs in Singapore. The guide briefed us and told about the roles of Marina Barrage. It plays an important parts in helping to alleviate flooding in some of the lower lying areas of the island. As we know Singapore is too hard in providing fresh water because of the geographic location surrounded by sea. So the place is also important in providing fresh water.
At 1st floor there were galleries of water forming process. How The Marina Barrage works, why that is important to them and why did they made it. Sure they used sophisticated technology to turned sea water into fresh water. They created that place in case of Singapore often flooded at the past. So they thought about how to make something to prevent flood.
I learned the way they are thinking, so it may be able to apply in my country in Jakarta because of there is too often flood.
Marina Barrage itself have created some much needed recreational space. It’s a popular place to run, bike, sail boats, and take wedding photos. At the top of Marina Barrage we can see almost the central city of Singapore, especially the popular place such as Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, Flower Dome, etc. We did some group photos in there. We were so delighted to be there and see the popular places in Singapore at the same time at top of buildings.
Then we went around to Merlion. We passed Flower Dome, Helix Bridge, Singapore Flyer and many buildings. It was so exhausting but all paid off with the beauty of the city, The Merlion was surrounded by many tall buildings and the design of the exterior buildings are so amazed and wonderful.
